Geng Scroll Volume 203 Unexpected

 The scholars in the North were very dissatisfied with Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe joining forces to control the affairs of the court. This dissatisfaction was not only focused on the personnel arrangements in which the Jiangnan scholars were in an absolutely dominant position, but also on the fact that the Jiangnan scholars were in an absolutely dominant position when arranging these positions.

Nepotism.

Among the seven ministers and the eight key positions of the imperial censor of Zuodu, among the northern scholars, only Cui Jingrong was awarded the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Huaichang was awarded the position of minister of the Ministry of War, and Huguang official Yingzhen was awarded the position of minister of the Ministry of Commerce.

The status and importance of these three positions are all at the bottom.

Other positions, such as the five ministers and the Zuodu censor, were all controlled by Jiangnan scholars. Under this situation, even Qi Yongtai could not suppress the dissatisfaction of his colleagues in his group, although they also knew that this was what they wanted.

A reflection of actual strength.

The distribution of the eight positions can basically reflect the current power of the Jiangnan, Northern, and Huguang scholars in the DPRK.

For example, the two most important ministerial positions of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Hubu are controlled by the Jiangnan scholar Gao Panlong (a native of Nanzhi), who belongs to the Southern Zhili-Zhejiang Scholars Alliance. The Minister of Hubu Huang Ruliang (a Fujian scholar) is controlled by a Jiangnan scholar.

Renzhong was controlled by the Fujian-Jiangyou (Jiangxi) Scholars Alliance. Liu Yishen, the Minister of Punishment, was from Jiangxi and also belonged to the Fujian-Jiangyou Alliance.

On the other hand, although Zhang Jingqiu, the censor of Zuodu, and Gu Bingqian, minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, were both from Nanzhi and could be regarded as Jiangnan scholars, they had a particularly close relationship with the emperor, and Ye Fang's influence on them was limited.

.

Most of the materials in Gyeonggi Province now come from other places. Among them, daily necessities such as silk, cloth, tea, medicinal materials and various southern goods mostly come from Jiangnan. Most of the food comes from Huguang, and some comes from neighboring areas such as Beizhili and Shandong.

Other prefectures and prefectures are simply unable to support and supply the more than one million people in their cities who almost entirely rely on external support.

It can be said that if water transportation is cut off for three days, rumors will spread in Beijing. If it is cut off for ten days, some supplies in Beijing will begin to be in short supply. If it is cut off for one month, Beijing will have to limit the supply of key supplies such as grain, oil, and salt.

Last March, it was a disaster.

Now Sun Juxiang raised the issue of Shuntian Prefecture Yin Wu Daonan's mediocrity, which immediately aroused everyone's anger and criticized Ye Fang and Ye Fang for their nepotism.

However, Qiao Yingjia knew the secret and shook his head slowly: "Bofu, Wu Daonan was able to sit in the position of Shuntian Prefecture, and it was not entirely because of the support of Ye Fang and his two brothers. There was also the emperor's intention here. Wu Daonan has always been talented in literature, and in Jiangnan and Jiangnan.

The capital's talents are quite famous, but they are incapable of governing the world. King Shou, King Fu, King Li and King Lu often follow Wu Daonan to and from various poetry and cultural gatherings in our capital city. This is to cultivate his reputation.

, the emperor suffered the disadvantage of not being well received by the scholars, and has always felt regretful. Now he has the opportunity to let several princes follow Wu Daonan to gain fame and win the favor of the scholars in Beijing and Jiangnan. It is naturally a great thing. As for the capital

The law and order is not stable and the refugees are facing hardship, so we can put it aside in comparison..."

Qiao Yingjia's words caused everyone present to fall into silence. Qi Yongtai understood the reason, but as the elder of the pavilion, he naturally couldn't say it. But Qiao Yingjia didn't have so many taboos. He was the censor, so he could go to the imperial court if he had one.

Danzhang, although it is impossible for him to do this, it is still okay to talk about it internally.

Zhang Huaichang, Cui Jingrong, Wang Yongguang, Sun Juxiang, Han Xu and others did not think of this. Only then did they realize. No wonder Ye Fang and the others refused to touch Wu Daonan. This was also an important move to influence the next emperor. The influence was

If you want to start cultivating it from now on, this can be called a masterful move.

Wang Yongguang glanced at Feng Ziying, who was sitting at the end without speaking, with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "Ziying, if you have the chance, you might as well attend these literary and poetry gatherings in the capital city. I heard that several princes

I have invited you to participate in various cultural poetry gatherings and banquets many times. Even if you don’t like it, you still need to make some sacrifices..."

Wang Yongguang suggested to Feng Ziying on behalf of almost the entire northern scholar group that the competition with the Jiangnan scholars should start early in every aspect, otherwise once an emperor who is close to the Jiangnan scholars succeeds to the throne in the future, his own strength will be reduced.

The status of the northern scholars who are not as good as Jiangnan is probably even more difficult.

After exchanging glances, everyone, including Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, nodded slowly, obviously agreeing with Wang Yongguang's opinion.

Feng Ziying didn't expect the fire to burn her body all of a sudden, and she raised her head in confusion, "Uh, gentlemen, this student's poetry talent is really unbearable..."

"Humph, aren't you always quick-witted? At the Enrong Banquet, Wang Xiangchun was speechless. I also heard that there is a saying in Wang Ziteng's study, where flowers are thick and willows are thick, the only way is to open them; Feng Kuang

When the rain is heavy, you can only see your feet if you stand still. Did you write these two sentences? Even I think they are very impressive. Also, Dazhang and Boya came to me and talked about last year when you were appreciating plum blossoms.

I made a song called "Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei". I've heard of it. I'm afraid no one in your department can match your style and magnanimity. Are you still hiding it in front of us?"

Qiao Yingjia looked at Feng Ziying coldly, with a bad tone.

Feng Ziying was speechless. Not to mention the incident at the Enrong Banquet, everyone knew that there was nothing they could do, but she didn't expect that these two guys, Zheng Chongjian and Sun Chuanting, would actually sell her out.

But both of them were descendants of Shanxi scholars, so it was natural for them to pay a visit to Qiao Yingjia, the leader of the Shanxi scholars. As for admiring themselves, it was even more normal.

However, the calligraphy in Wang Ziteng's study has been completed for some years. How come Qiao Yingjia knew about it?

Could it be that the Imperial Palace is also being watched by the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

Shouldn't this be Captain Long's job?

Everyone was quite surprised. Everyone knew Feng Ziying's strengths and weaknesses, but they didn't expect that she could have such abilities. Although Wang Ziting was a martial artist, these two sentences were excellent. What else is there in "Bu Suanzi·Yongmei"?

", so they all asked.

Qiao Yingjia then told this poem. Everyone present here was a scholar with a Jinshi background. Even though they had different talents in poetry, none of them could compare with Feng Ziying, but this poem still made them feel amazing.

Qi Yongtai's face looked much better, and his previous boredom was relieved a lot, and he nodded: "Ziying, I know you don't like poetry and think it is a trivial matter, but for us scholars to build virtue and merit, poetry is also indispensable.

Yes, you don’t have to be too obsessed with it, but as Youfu said, you can still participate in some literary and poetry gatherings, and no one will overly require you to produce something new every time..."

"Yes, this chanting of plum blossoms can be sung for a long time. No one dares to provoke..." Sun Juxiang also nodded.

"But Ziying is in Yongping Mansion now and has very little time to return to Beijing." Wang Yongguang said with regret: "Ziying wasted a lot of opportunities during the three years of observing politics."

Cui Jingrong said thoughtfully: "Brother Chengfeng, I remember that the prime minister of Shuntian Mansion has always been vacant, isn't it? Wu Daonan's mind is on other things, which is why the current situation of Shuntian Mansion is in a mess, and Zhizhong Mei Zhiye

Although he is from the Mei family in Macheng, there is a big gap between him and Mei Zhihuan. They are not even satisfactory. One is Wu Daonan and the other is Mei Zhiye. In such a large Shuntian Mansion troika, one is lame, the other is lame, and one is missing.

How can the situation in Shuntian Mansion be managed well?"

The direction of Cui Jingrong's words was very clear. Several people present were slightly moved. Qiao Yingjia also reacted and rubbed his chin, "Zi Qiang, do you mean to let Ziying return to Beijing to serve as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture?"

"This is a good idea!" Wang Yongguang's eyes also lit up, "Shuntian Mansion was originally the center of our northern land, but it turned out that a person from Jiangnan came to be the governor. Mei Zhiye, a scholar from Huguang, also performed disappointingly.

We should let one of our 800 serious northern scholars be the prime minister. If they do bad things, let Ziying do it for them to see. Besides, look at Ziying's performance in Yongping Mansion. Isn't that enough?

Does it explain everything?”

Qi Yongtai, on the other hand, frowned slightly, "Zi Ying has only served as the fifth rank for one year, and now he suddenly jumps two levels to become the Prime Minister of Shuntian. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. I'm afraid Jin Qing and Zhong Han will not agree."

"Hmph, Chengfeng, you are also a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. When will we Zhou officials have to follow the rule of one promotion every three years and one promotion every six years? Isn't Ziying's performance in Yongping Mansion not good enough? Guang Guang

The battle in Qian'an City was enough for him to even be promoted to the third level!" Zhang Huaichang said with some dissatisfaction: "This has not yet mentioned that the 100,000 refugees from Shuntian Prefecture were also handed over to Yongping Prefecture. If Ziying was not in Yongping,

With all the painstaking efforts of the government, if the Shuntian Prefecture adds 100,000 refugees, then I think the capital city has long been in chaos, how can Wu Daonan still sit still?"

Zhang Huaichang's words immediately resonated with several other people. Even Han Xu, who was not familiar with Feng Ziying, nodded repeatedly.

A man who could gather a strong population to compete with the Mongolian army without losing the city ended up being a group of Mongolians who defeated the 80,000-strong Beijing army. The comparison between these two things makes Feng Ziying even more extraordinary.

Now it has accepted 100,000 refugees, and no one dares to ignore this achievement.

Qiao Yingjia also slightly nodded his head. Zhang Huaichang supported this opinion. Basically, the attitudes of the northern scholars became unified.

The northern scholars are more united than the Jiangnan scholars, but there are slight differences. For example, at present, the northern Zhili scholars and Shanxi scholars are the main ones, followed by the Shandong and Henan scholars, and the Shaanxi scholars again, like Qi Yongtai.

Cui Jingrong and Wang Yongguang both belong to Beizhili, while Qiao Yingjia, Sun Juxiang and Han Xu are all Shanxi scholars, while Zhang Huaichang is from Liaodong, which traditionally belongs to Shandong, and Feng Ziying can also be regarded as Shandong, but she was sent to

It's just a matter of Shuntian.

"Chengfeng, I think Brother Huaichang's opinion is very pertinent. Ye Fang and the others have benefited a lot this time. In Shuntian Mansion, we can tolerate Wu Daonan continuing to serve as governor, but we have to get things done and let Ziying.

Young people go and exercise. Anyway, they are right under the eyes of the imperial court. They can also give advice at any time. Why not?" Qiao Yingjia added to the anger, "If you can't come forward, I will go see the chief minister. Ziqiang, you can go see him.

Zhonghan, we must let this matter come to an end!"
